This study was conducted to investigate the relationship among prevalence of obesity, nutritional status and factors related to obesity of women who exercise regularly. The subjects of this study were 100 women who have been exercising regularly for more than 6 months. They were mostly housewives ages 24 to 63 years and had graduated middle or high school. Their average income was form 700 to 1,500 thousand won per month and most of them had 2 r 3 children. They sleep usually 6~8 hours a day. Most of physical indices of obesity were increased progressively with age. Among them , weight (61.5$\pm$1.4kg), subscapular (16.3$\pm$1.4mm) and abdomen(31.4$\pm$1.2mm) skinfold thickness were higher in 50 years than in others. BMI after exericse was decreased compared with BMI before exericise. WHR was 0.82 in 40 years and 0.85$\pm$0.01 in 50- to 60- year-old group. The percentage of body fat increased with advancing years and the highest values were shown in 50 - to 60-year old group (skyndex value : 38.6$\pm$0.6, BIA value : 28.7$\pm$0.8<0.05). The prevalence of obesity was measured by bioelectrical impedance fatness analyzer (BIA), obdy mass index (BMI) and skinfold thickness were 17.0%, 24.0% and 78.0% respectively. Most subjects were in good nutritional status, but in the subjects aged 24~49, energy (89.3%), iron (93.3%) and vit. A (97.4%) intake were slighltyl lower than the RDA. Energy intake was slightly insufficient tot he 50-63year old subjects (88.6%) compared with RDA. It seemed that they restricted calorie intake for the weight control. The energy percentage of carbohydrate, fat and protein was 65 : 20 : 15, the result of which came closed to the recommended calorei composition. There were positive correlations between obesity and other variable such as age. number of childeren and physical indics.

The two objectives of this study were 1) to develop an efficacy expectation promoting program for the management of menopause based on the self-efficacy theory of Bandura(1977), and 2) to investigate the effects of the efficacy expectation promoting program for the management of menopause. The first phase was to development an efficacy expectation promoting program through video tape. A telephone coaching program served as a follow-up to the efficacy expectation promoting program which provided encouragement and support to the subjects. The second phase was the experimental stage. This experimentation was conducted to determine whether an efficacy expectation promoting program based on theory of Bandura would increase the self-efficacy and the management of menopause. Results : The video which we developed consisted of 2 parts. Part one discussed the symptoms and the management of menopause. Part two reflected the vicarious step-by-step success of middle-aged women's menopause management. The telephone coaching program served as a follow up to the efficacy expectation promoting program and provided encouragement and support to the subjects. The total length of the video is 50 minutes. The hypotheses stated in phase two were supported by following results : In the two experimental groups consisting of the natural and artificial menopause groups both demonstrated significant increase in their general and concrete self-efficacy scores. In the experimental groups, both the objective and subjective menopause management scores increased n the natural and artificial menopause experimental groups. In conclusion, it was found that an efficacy expectation promoting program was an effective nursing intervention for increasing self-efficacy and management of menopause.

Purpose: This study was done to explore the essence and meaning of the experience of 'aging', as a process of 40's and 50's women in Korea by applying the Parse's Human Becoming theory (2002). Methods: Data was collected from February to April, 2013, using the phenomenological research method. Data was collected through in-depth informal interview and analyzed following Colaizzi method. After IRB permission and informed consent from the participants, all interviews were recorded with MP3 recorder and transcribed for analysis. Results: Data analysis revealed 112 of meanings, 33 key subject words, 8 subject phrases, and 4 categories. The main themes were elaborated as 'going down' ('Being changed of body and mind', 'Being considered on my identity'), 'going up' ('Being expanded of productive role', 'Being transcendent multi-dimensionally'), 'pausing' ('Becoming more thoughtful about family', 'Looking back'), 'going forward again' ('Age is just a number, 'Contemplating of life and death'). Experiences in aging among women in 40's and 50's enlightened with Parse's theory of Human Becoming in terms of 'going down', 'going up', 'pausing', 'going forward again' appeared simultaneously, rather than consecutively. Conclusion: Women in 40's and 50's require holistic nursing intervention with physical, psychological, socio-economical, and spiritual aspects, rather than focusing on problematic physical symptom relief and prevention of further conditions. It is recommended to develop various nursing intervention considering on different environment, type of experience, and level of human becoming, individually.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to perform a scoping review to describe clinical study trends on Qigong in order to identify further directions of Qigong in Korean medicine. Methods: Under the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework, PubMed was searched to identify articles published from January 1, 2019 to June 28, 2021. A total of 224 articles were retrieved. Results were systematically filtered by two independent reviewers based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. Publication information, disease, intervention and research results of a total of 153 articles were extracted and analyzed. Results: Asia had the largest number of Qigong studies (82 studies, 65%). Most research studies were conducted in the academic field of Medicine (n=109, 86.5%), including Complementary and Alternative Medicine (n=35), Medicine (miscellaneous) (n=15), and Oncology (n=15). Based on ICD-10 classification, Mental and Behavioral Disorder (n=25, 19.8%) was the most frequently analyzed decease, followed by Neoplasm (n=24) and Disease of the Nervous system (n=12). Almost half of all studies were Systematic Reviews. RCTs only accounted for 25.4%. Interventions were very diverse and inconsistent. Sixty (47.6%) studies analyzed Qigong as a single intervention. In 66 cases, Qigong was analyzed as part of a large category such as Mind-Body intervention. Most studies designed a Donggong (動功) program. The age of the population was relatively high as 47.1% of all studies were conducted on middle aged or older adults. Conclusions: These findings suggest that further standardized research on Qigong, especially Junggong (靜功), needs to be conducted by developing research protocols and practice programs to verify effects of Qigong and utilize Qigong as a medical intervention in Korean Medicine.

Purpose: This study investigated the associations between physical activities (PAs) and the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and perceived health status (PHS) of cancer survivors. We further examined the interaction effects of PAs and covariates on HRQOL and PHS. Methods: Data sets were obtained from the 2014-2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects were 1,349 cancer survivors aged over 18 years old. Data were analyzed using R 4.0.3 and SPSS 18.0. Logistic regression analysis was conducted considering only the main terms, or including additional interaction terms between PAs and covariates. Results: Moderate and high PAs showed significantly improved HRQOL related to self-care domain, euro quality of life-5 dimension index, and PHS. Interaction analysis revealed that high PAs resulted in improved HRQOL associated with self-care and pain/discomfort in cancer survivors having depression. Moreover, for low- and middle-income levels, higher PAs served to improve HRQOL associated with depression/anxiety. In contrast, higher PAs rather reduced HRQOL for the high-income group. Conclusions: To improve HRQOL, we recommend PAs higher than the moderate level for cancer survivors. In case of cancer survivors having depression or belonging to the high-income group, it is necessary to manage individual PAs considering the interaction effects.

본 연구에서는 상담 및 심리치료 분야에서 대화형 에이전트의 활용이 증가하는 가운데, 음성 기반 심리상담 에이전트 설계 시 중요하게 고려해야 하는 요인을 탐색하기 위해 실험 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위해 실제 심리상담 맥락에서 음성 기반 대화형 에이전트를 구현하여, 20~30대 성인 남녀 48명을 대상으로 상담 대화를 진행하였다. 연구 참여자는 4가지 유형의 에이전트 목소리(청년여성, 청년남성, 중년여성, 중년남성) 중 선호하는 목소리를 선택한 후 대화하였으며, 목소리 선택에 대한 이유, 기분 변화, 에이전트의 특성에 대한 지각, 상담 성과 등을 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 사용자 성별에 따른 에이전트의 목소리 유형 선택은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 그러나 목소리 선택 이유로 '편안함'이 가장 많이 언급됨으로써, 심리상담 에이전트에게 요구되는 목소리 특성이 탐색되었다. 다음으로, 사용자는 에이전트와의 대화 후, 기분이 유의미하게 개선되는 것으로 나타남으로써 심리상담 에이전트의 개입 효과를 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 사용자가 심리상담 에이전트에게 지각하는 특성 중, 전문성과 호감이 상담 성과를 긍정적으로 평가하는데 중요한 요소임이 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 심리상담 에이전트의 활용 가능성과 추후 연구에 대한 제언을 제시하였다.
